Lots of other things to do than TV these days.
Very interesting and intellectually stimulating with beautiful black & white photography.
Makes everything else we're talking about on this thread seem like badly produced porn compared to this great doublesided DVD.
Get it on Netflix or like me I'm gonna buy my own copy from amazon, unless someone knows a better place for same.
We killed TV in our house about 4 or 5 months ago. It’s been nice. We still get movies from Netflix and most of the shows we like to watch are on the internet for free anyway.
The only thing I don’t know what to do about is football....
Because they are no good and not worth watching. Never mind stupid.
I check the booktv schedule every week and wind up TIVOing 4-5 shows over the weekend. I can watch a 1 hour show with commercials in about 30-35 minutes. We used to arrange things around the TV schedule. Now we live our lives as it happens and schedule other activities. TV waits until and unless we decide to watch.
My TV viewing is basically comprised of The History Channel, The Science Channel, The Food Channel, Fox News, and occasionally a sporting event or a movie.
Because television as we know it is becoming outdated.
I turned on the TV a couple of weeks ago to see if the set still works. It does. I’ll check again in a few months.
And the fact that it sounds like they all suck.
; )
Ask my ER Nurse wife, she's the one who asked for it. We also have Fantasy Island, and have one and a half Love Boat seasons. We plan to have enough entertainment for six months that we forget what we saw six months ago.
BTW: We go on Love Boat (Princess Cruises). Then have a Love Boat landing sign on their Island in the Caribbean.

Best Entertainment and Best food. We do the 11 day cruises.
I did that just for fun with the TV in my apartment in another city that I get to visit maybe every 2 months. I've had that TV for 20 years, but now it doesn't work any more. Oh, wait...it's the TV stations that don't work on it any more! Neverrrrminnnnnnnd.
It's great fun to watch them on German TV...dubbed in German...and marvel at the goofy voices the German producers chose for the characters.
Of course, several of the original cast members could have dubbed their own voices, but I don't think they did.
I'm with you there.. except for the sporting event...
Add in the original shows on USA, FX, TNT and TBS, which are good (The Closer, Royal Pains, Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Rescue Me, Monk and Psych).
About the only network shows I watch any more are House, Law and Order, and The Unit, which I think they cancelled.
Perhaps because it’s junk?
